yeah i think reverse is very handy i do like my tecate but its not so good for trails because all of the shifting that has to be done dont get me wrong i love the the top end speed but its very hard to keep up to some other riders on 4 strokes in the trails and sorry but the honda does not appeal to me that much maybe because i heard they were slow yamaha has been in the family for years allready so i kinda want to be in that tradition and b cuzz the build some kick *** atv's! but the raptor is the one i got in my mind right now

 

Whoa don't sell that Tecate, Restore it! Fully rebuild the engine. Put new bushings and brakes and such on and ride that thing. Also throw some aftermarket shocks on there while you're at it.

 

I would have to agree with that statement!!!

When I get done with the LT,,,,I will be looking for a Tecate,,,,I have wanted one for 17 years now!!!

 

im not going to sell it i just need something meanwhile i restore it slowly and trick out the raptor and the same time so i got my hands full

 

LIGHTEST??

I'd say out of all of those, the yfz is the lightest. (350 dry)

the rappy's engine alone is like 75lbs heavier...

 

oops,,,i didnt see the 4th,,,,,doh
yes,,,the yfz is the lightest

 

75 pounds is least he would be worrying about when he is getting almost 120 ccs extra

 

you mean 220ccs extra dumbo and it is not 75 pounds its more around the 50 area

 

well how tight are the trails?? Out of that category id go for the DS650 or Raptor. But two strokes arent that bad in the trails if u kno how to ride them...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Did u look at the polaris scrambler// it may be automatic but it has alota ballz/// and u said ur into trail ridingand the scramblers got 4wd// its a little heavy but it haulls ***
